It saddens me to think
How desperate you feel right now.
You can't see a future
And nobody seems to understand.
Well I know you don't want to hear this
But I'm begging you
PLEASE GIVE LIFE A CHANCE.
Because, trust me,
Things are going to get better
And I can't let you throw it all away
And miss the wonderful times that lie ahead.
But why should you listen to me?
After all,
Who the hell am I?
A concerned friend,
With lots to say
But no time to listen?
A well-meaning do-gooder,
With plenty of platitudes
But no real answers?
No.
I'm somebody who knows
Exactly what you're going through
And I am counting on you
To step back from the brink
For I am your future self.
